@aok_NW Kotor and Montenegro in general would be on my list of less known places that are fantastic. I loved my trip there.
Slovenia was also full of great places and sights. I climbed Triglav and spent time in the countryside which is slightly more off the beaten track #PTTravel

RT @Travel_Session: A3- It may not be a hidden gem to some, but I stumbled on #SanSebastian while on my way to Pamplona.

A4 #PTTravel Not really ... ask at hotel reception, or a taxi driver (that's how we found the Bird Garden in Agadir). Better still, set aside a day for just 'parping about' aimlessly. You'd be surprised what you stumble across.

replying to @Morology @Morology One of those photos reminded me of a taco place in Tijuana. Do you think that Tijuana could be considered a hidden gem?! #PTTravel

A4 Despite the jokes about Ryanair destinations, it does make you look at the map and research lesser known places. My first trip to Bremen was because of a cheap flight - it became my favourite German city. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @Txiki_Tales #pttravel I thought I 'knew Spain' ... but, I'm reading Victoria Hislop's 'The Return' at the moment, and starting to realise how much I didn't know!

replying to @NomadKeith @NomadKeith Yes! 1000 times yes. Always the best food down an alley, up a hill or away from the crowds. Mom and pop places in Asia are the same #PTTravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel A4 "off the beaten track" is one of my strongest niches, yet the phrase itself is subjective. WHat's off 'my' beaten track might not be off yours.
There are locals everywhere for whom it's not to them.

A4 No. But my gem could be your coal? I love just exploring where people actually live and looking at different types of housing. So to me seeing houses and buildings and streets are my hidden gem! #PTTravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot Once in Bilbao there was a woodcutting fiesta in the Plaza Nueva with kids playing with axes. Can you imagine that in the UK? 😉#pttravel

@kate_frankie #pttravel In Crete, they say the further you get from the coast, the better (and often, less expensive) the food is.
That establishment I pictured offered us 'sautéed aborigines' ... I didn't try any, though!

@bigfatheadz I mentioned something similar yesterday to my American friend. Like, there's a passion outside the UK for old-fashioned industrial-era British housing, and they go to places like Saltaire to see it.
And I'm like, 'that's almost every street in the East Midlands'. #pttravel

A5 with all the kerfuffle around travel and countries not wanting us 😄 I have booked a week in Paphos in a resort in Feb which is a very un me trip and so now I am looking for me type things to do (i.e not just eat in the hotel and sit on the beach) #PTTravel

A5 #PTTravel I haven't been there, but I've seen TV documentaries ... and think the Italian Dolomites would have such places a=plenty

A5 I always like discovering ‘neighbourhood’ bars and spending time in the places frequented by people who actually live there rather than tourists. It’s led to some pretty wild nights…and some great, if rather temporary, friendships. #pttravel

replying to @RTWBarefoot @RTWBarefoot @bigfatheadz The traffic around Saltaire in particular and to the north of Bradford in general is an absolute pain in the arse. 😉 #pttravel

replying to @Morology @Morology I was told in San Diego to avoid it and that it was quite edgy. That only made me more curious. I liked it when I was there. Just a day trip but not many tourists #PTTravel
